Svagt vitgult gods s.k. creamware som blev populärt i England på 1700-talets slut. Kanten dekorerad med ett reliefmönster s.k. feather edge (fjäderkant). Sprickor och nagg, missfärgade ytor under glasyren. Tillverkningsstämplar saknas.
Vid jämförelse med tallrik med liknande reliefmönster som Marieberg i Sverige har tillverkat, så har museets tallrik 25 fjädrar medan Mariebergs-tallriken har 27 liknande samt ett aningens bredare bräm.
"Shell edge"-dekor på brämets kant var en annan uppskattad dekor under samma period.

The History of Leeds Pottery and Creamware
Brothers' John and Joshua Green in partnership founded LEEDS POTTERY in Leeds in 1770 with Richard Humble. Success soon came with the production of household goods in a variety of ceramic bodies, the most popular being CREAMWARE, a type of earthenware made by several companies from white Cornish Clay with a translucent glaze, producing the pale cream colour from which it took its name. In an age when the rediscovery of Rome's classic past brought a new elegance to design and ornament, pottery from Leeds with its fine embossing and intricately pierced openwork decoration reached a peak of perfection.
By 1781 William Hartley had added his design and business expertise to the Green brothers' production skills and under the name Hartley Greens & Co the company flourished, expanding its trade across Europe and into Russia. Such was its success that from then on Creamware would also be known as Leedsware. In the 19th century after the death of its founders the different tastes of the Victorian era brought a gradual decline in business, leading eventually to the Pottery's closure in 1878. Despite the later demolition of the kilns and buildings, surviving moulds and clues from pattern books together with fine examples of Leeds pieces in local museums enabled production of Creamware to the original designs to
continue to this day.
Creamware
For the 18th century Leeds potters creating this range of ware the clarity and simplicity of
cream colouring meant that its appeal would rest on elegant shapes. Classical proportions
and flawless craftsmanship coupled with moulding and openwork decoration, which was
imaginative yet, restrained. The same qualities are evident today in ware unchanged from the original designs and which still involves painstaking work to cast, jolley, assemble and
glaze every piece by hand in a process lasting over a week. Particular skill is required for
the pierced wares, decorated with patterns of oval; diamond and heart shaped holes each of which is individually cut out using a simple metal tool.
Shell Edge Creamware
The late eighteenth century saw the development of a style of tableware, which combined
handsome colour, and smooth texture of plain Creamware with a moulded and often tinted
edging, intended to draw the eye to the food being served. The most popular edging pattern proved to be one, which imitated the random yet rhythmic structure of a scallop shell, and Shell Edge Ware was produced in vast quantities by potteries throughout England. Inspired by original designs in Leeds Pottery's eighteenth century pattern books this new range of Shell Edge dinnerware rekindles the spirit of the Age of Elegance.
